TURKEY AND STUFFING MEATLOAF
This was what I thought was an invention of mine until I looked it up and found other recipes. Mine is more simple than some others but it makes a very dense meatloaf that tastes just like a turkey and dressing dinner. We're debating whether we are going to skip the big family meal this year and just cook this up.
